GOLF SHOE ANCHOR Filed NOV. 14, 1952 gmc/wm fMfM rlur lamwn I Patented Mar. 3, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.
This invention relates to golf shoes.
It is highly important for a golfer to maintain his left leg rigid and his foot at right angles to the line of flight of the ball at the moment of hitting the ball and during the follow through. Should the left foot turn and point in the direction of flight the left leg will likewise turn, the knee joint is therefore ilexed and it is impossible to hold the left leg rigid with the result that the entire left side of the body gives away and there is no solid foundation against which the golf stroke may be driven effectively.
An object of the invention is to provide a golf shoe with anchorage means which prevents the inadvertent twisting movement of the left leg and, moreover, minimizes the tendency of the golfer to pull away.
More specifically the invention comprises a steel plate having a multiplicity of spikes, of bevelled configuration, disposed along the outer marginal portion of the sole, which, in effect, grip the earth more firmly as the pressure against them increases.
Another object of the invention is to provide a steel plate having integral spikes cut at an angle, which plates are of substantially T-shape and to provide the inner sole with a recess for receiving the plate and the outer sole provided with a series of recesses through which the spikes project.
There are numerous other subordinate features of the invention which will be apparent to those skilled in the art on the reading of the following specification in conjunction with the drawing attached hereto and which form a part hereof, in which:
Figure 1 is a bottom plan View of my invention.
Figure 2 is a similar view showing the outer sole and heel layers removed.
Figure 3 is a sectional view on line 3-3 of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a sectional view on line 4 4, Figure 1.
Referring now more particularly to the drawing wherein like reference characters indicate corresponding parts I represents my shoe generally. 2 is the conventional inner sole, 3 the intermediate sole having the recess 4 cut therein for the purpose of receiving the plate 5 as shown. 6 is the outer sole having a series of recesses 'I through which spikes 8, carried by and preferably integral with the plate, project. 'Ihese spikes or flanges are cut at an obtuse angle with the central portion of the sole, as shown, and therefore act somewhat as anchor flukes. The left marginal portion of the shoe provided for the left foot of the golfer has, as shown, four flanges,
although a greater or lesser number may be employed while the right or inner marginal portion of the shoe has only two of such flanges.
In use, the flanges, cut at an obtuse angle, as aforesaid, grip more firmly as the pressure against them increases on the same principle as the flukes on an anchor. Consequently the tendency of the golfer to shift his foot so that it is not maintained at right angles to the direction of flight is materially minimized. At the same time the outer flanges act in conjunction with the inner flanges preventing the tendency of the golfer to pull away from the ball. The heel is also provided with a plate IIJ, as shown, the inner sole having a cut away portion to receive the plate so that it lies substantially flush with the upper surface of the inner sole, as shown. This heel plate also has flanges Il which project through recesses l2 provided by the outer sole.
It will be understood that many changes in construction may be made without departing from the invention as comprehended by the following claims. Thus, if desired, the anchor plate may be imbedded in the sole while being manufactured of rubber or composition, that is to say, instead of placing an anchor in a shoe between the soles, as aforesaid, the anchor may be imbedded in the outer rubber sole itself. This is a decided improvement on rubber soles which have heretofore been employed or on rubber soles provided with spikes as such spikes will inherently yield during usage.
What I claim is:
l. A golfers shoe comprising a sole and a plurality of relatively long, narrow, spaced spikes along the outer marginal portion thereof arranged in a line approximately parallel to the outer edge of the sole, said spikes being set at an obtuse angle to the surface of the sole interiorly of the spikes whereby they sink more easily into the ground as the outwardly directed lateral pressure against them increases, thereby tending to prevent lateral displacement of the shoe as the golfer swings.
2. A golfers shoe of the character described comprising a sole and an anchor plate associated therewith, said plate having a plurality of flanges positioned along its outer marginal portion, the flanges being set at an obtuse angle to the surface of the plate interiorly of the spikes whereby they become more easily embedded in the ground as the outwardly directed lateral pressure thereon increases to maintain the shoe in the desired position during the'golfers swing.
ARTHUR EARL SHANNON.
